I replaced my engine last year and was lucky enough to find a low mileage engine on eBay. For me the experience was very positive and saved me about $8k from having to buy a reconditioned engine from Porsche. And yes I did the LN IMS retrofit and X51 oil pan.

It purrs like a kitten now.

Just do your research, ask a lot of questions and make sure you have a good comfort level with the person you are buying the engine from.

Good luck
